Hybrid and Hierarchical Composite Materials [electronic resource] /
Kim, Chang-Soo.editor.
Randow, Charles.editor.
Sano, Tomoko.editor.
This book addresses a broad spectrum of areas in both hybrid materials and hierarchical composites, including recent development of processing technologies, structural designs, modern computer simulation techniques, and the relationships between the processing-structure-property-performance. Each topic is introduced at length with numerous  and detailed examples and over 150 illustrations.   In addition, the authors present a method of categorizing these materials, so that representative examples of all material classes are discussed.
